Thanks for bringing up a grey area in US culture. I agree that we cannot move forward until we shake off our fear of the unknown and the laziness to explore it. However the way which you portray Richard Dawkins is equally as trite as any religious leader (black background slightly turned profile serious expression, come on!). There will be no grand battle between religious and non just a slow steady evolution of awakenings and frankly by Mr. Dawkins leaving no room for spirituality or the karmic flows of life have made it very boring all the sudden. He along with the rest of the world does not have the answer to life or even know there is an “answer”. Some people do not think in science that does not make us(science culture) more powerful or they wrong. I fully understand the motivation of the movement they (fundamentalist Christians in the U.S.) are provoking many people with mean even hateful protest and attempting to erasing the line between church and state! The real hurdle that must be overcome is the one size fits all attitude, we are all alive and all valid in respects to our origin, just keep it to yourself. I do not appreciate being solicited on promises(or threats) of the afterlife by anyone. I do however give Dawkins, and Wired daps for hanging it out there in these uncomfortably religious times.
